jOufns-General Notes.
Deputy Marshal Cudihee has returned
| from Cove Creek, having made four
days trip in about thirty-six hours.
Cudihee is good traveller.
Prof. X. G, Maeser was arrested last
Monday on the prevailing charge, he be-
ing polygamist. On Thursday he had
an examination before Commissioner
Hills. The witnesses in the case were
his legal wife, his daughter Otillia and
his son Emil. They were all perfectly
straightforward and gave their testimony
without the least reservation. There
was no disposition manifest to hide up
any facts that tended to throw light on
the matter. In this particular the Pro-
lessons case proved very commendable
exception to the rule. After the witnesses
were examined the Commissioner took
the matter under advisement till yester-
day morning, when he ruled that Maeser
be held to await the action of the Grand
Jury. and therefore placed him under
bonds.
Among the Conference applicants for
citizenship was one Alfred Anderson, a
very green young man from the wilder
ness. He was so overcome by the ma
Jesty OF the court that he answered as in
coherently as child. To one question
he said: Chicago is State" and then
fell fiat on his back as though he had
been shot. He was taken from the court
room, but returned later in the day and
was finally admitted to citizenship.
The charge of Judge Henderson in
the Steen case was lengthy and explicit
one. The jury retired and after being
out all night, came into court yesterday
with verdict of guilty of murder in the
second degree, recommending the boy to
the mercy of the court When the fore
man read the verdict Steen dropped his |
head and sighed heavily. After the Jury
was discharged he arose, shook his
lawyer heartily by the hand, and solemn
ly walked from the court room back to
Jail. Next Monday was set for the day
of sentence.
The verdict in the Steen case gives
general satisfaction what was GEN
orally supposed would be given.
Alex, Sutherland's address to the iurv
in the Steen case was a very able and |
eloquent effort. The gentleman talked
for three hours and worked faithfully for
his client, which was all the more COM
mendable because he defended HIM with
out remuneration.
